SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 654,279, dated July 24, 1906.

Application filed April 4,1898. Serial No. 676,448. (to model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATIN RAVIOH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination-Overalls, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of garments worn by operators in mills and factories, carpenters, mechanics, and artisans in general, and has for its object the providing of a simple, economical, and efficient garment in which the trousers, shirt, and jacket portion are formed in one piece; and the invention consists in the features, combinations, and details of construction hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of combination-overalls, showing the trousers and shirt as constructed in accordance with my improvements; Fig. 2, a rear elevation showing the trousers and jacket as constructed in accordance with my improvements; Fig. 3, a longitudinal sectional elevation taken through the center of the garment, showing it as it appears when closed; Fig. 4, a broken sectional elevation showing the garment in a partiallyopen condition; and Figs. 5 and 6, details, as hereinafter described.

In the art to which this invention relates it is well known that garments of these classes are constructed with the trousers in one portion, the jacket in another portion, and the shirt in still anotherportion. This is objectionable in that when it is necessary to put on or take off the garment it must be taken off piecemeal and does not protect the operator from dirt or make as efficient a garment as might be desired. My improvements therefore are intended, primarily, to remove the above-named objections and to provide a simple and efiicient garment which contains in one piece a trousers portion, a shirt portion at the front, and a jacket portion at the rear, all of which will more fully'hereinafter appear.

In constructing a garment in accordance with my improvements I make a shirt portion A, which, as is usual, is preferably open down the entire front portion from the throat to the trousers and which is provided with buttons and buttonholes a for the purpose of securing the garment to the wearer or enabling it to be removed readily. This shirt portion is provided with breast-pockets a for the purpose of enabling the wearer to carry instruments and other articles therein. I next provide a jacket portion B, which is to all intents and purposes a continuation of the shirt portion in that it is formed, as shown in Fig. 5, of an integral piece of cloth so arranged that it meets at the back to form a seam a, as shown particularly in Fig. 2, and hangs down so as to overlap the upper rear flap C of the trousers C, thus protecting that portion of the trousers and the wearer from dirt, 850., and at the same time enabling the wearer to partially disrobe whenever it is necessary without entirely removing any part of the garment.

As shown in Fig. 5, the fore part of the leg of the trousers is secured to the shirt portion at a by stitching or otherwise, though it may be cut from the same piece of cloth as the shirt and jacket whenever desirable. In this figure the shirt and jacket portion is shown as formed from the same piece of cloth, or, in other words, from side to side is formed of two pieces of cloth stitched together at the seam ct in the back and is provided with a slotted portion b, to which the sleeve D of the garment is secured, and'a curved portion 6, to which the collar E is secured.

In Fig. 6 I have shown the rear portion of the trousers-leg as provided with the upper extending flap C, which, as shown in Fig.2, is covered and inclosed by the jacket portion. In order to detachably hold this flap in proper position on the wearer, a suspender Gis provided, which is securely stitched to the yoke g and adapted to be detachably secured to the flap by means of the button 9 and the strap 9.

From the foregoing detailed descriptionof construction in which my invention is embodied, and which is for the purpose of properly disclosing it so as to enable those skilled in the art to practice the same, it will be seen that I have provided a garment comprised of two integral halves which compose a jacket portion and the front of the leg portion, each composed of one-half of the front and onehalf of the back of the jacket portion. There is alsoafront leg portion in combination with two rear leg portions, each having at the waist-line an upward extension integral therewith. These parts are connected together substantially as set forth and form at the waist-line a rear flap extending beneath and adapted to be covered by the back of the jacket portion. Said jacket portion reaches to a point below the waist-line, while said flap is free or unattached between the outer upper points of juncture of the rear and front leg portions.

By making the trousers with an upwardlyextending flap adapted to be covered by the jacket portion the garment may be put on simply and easily, and partial disrobing may be accomplished whenever necessary without entirely removing the garment. The supporting of the suspender in the particular form shown in the drawings takes the strain off the shoulders of the wearer and enables him to have the free use of his shoulders and arms at all times, thereby enabling him to work with greater comfort and facility.

I claim- 1. A garment comprising two integral halves composing the jacket portion and the front of the leg portion, each composed of onehalf of the front and one-half of the back of the jacket portion, and a front leg portion, in combination with two rear leg portions each having at the waist-line an upward extension integral therewith, these parts being connected together substantially as set forth and forming at the waist-line a rear flap extending beneath the back of the jacket portion, said jacket portion reaching to a point below the waist-line and said flap being free or unattached between the outer upper points of juncture of the rear and front leg portions.

2. A garment comprising two integral halves composing the jacket portion and the front leg portion, each composed of one-half of the front and one-half of the back of the jacket 'portion, and a front leg portion, in combination with two rear leg portions each having at the waist-line an upward extension integral therewith, these parts being connected together, substantially as set forth, and forming at the waist-line a rear flap extending beneath the back of the jacket portion, said jacket portion reaching to a point below the waist-line and said flap being free or unattached between the outer upper points of juncture of the rear and front leg portions, and a suspender connecting the inside of the jacket portion with the said rear flap.
